Tomorrow morning is the Mother Road 100 (MR100). The race starts in Elk City, OK at 9:00AM and finishes at Ft. Reno near El Reno, OK between 15 and 30 hours later. You can visit the web site here: motherroad100.com.
Three Pirañas are running; Samsonite, who has a very good chance of winning and is shooting for a finish time of 15 hours, Maverick, who is capable of finishing in 20 hours with no problem except that he has had some injury issues lately, and T3 who is capable of finishing.
Other Pirañas are involved in the race too:
P.I.T. McLuvin is the Finish Line Director. The veteran of several ultra events and with experience as Assistant Director of the Redman, McLuvin will make sure the runners get a hearty welcome and whatever food and comfort they desire at the finish.
Big is Piraña Crew Team Leader. Big was planning on crewing for T3 and Mav but sustained nerve damage to his right leg and is therefore unable to sit/ride in a car for long periods. Big got other runners and friends to take shifts and will be coordinating the whole thing from his easy chair.
Weeble and Goose have both signed up for crew shifts. Goose has a quiet way about him that will either be very helpful or completely irritating late in the race. Weeble was with T3 and Mav at the bitter end last time they did this and is prepared to take the abuse.
Obi sent out press releases and tried to drum up some media coverage of the event and Kimo sent T3 this heart warming ecard on the eve of the race:
All in all it should be a interesting weekend. Stay tuned for updates as things unfold (or unravel.)
